Thanks for sharing this video and your insights. I have used HRD for a couple of years. I imagine it now has many additional features & benefits. Indeed I’ll have to learn how configure multiple monitors. This week I have ordered a Xiegu G90 & in the near future the digital interface DE-19 73 Steve AA4SH
Let me know what you found a challenge. I will be making a NEW video with more details and more focused on the various sections, anyway I can help let me know. Thank you
Can you make contacts to your Ham operators by clicking the TX button and have QSO's on 'Ham Radio Deluxe ? and do you need Skype for your audio for the use of a microphone ? 7- 1-2020 2:16 am ...
Great question -- the mapping would need to be done if not available already. That is something that is more advanced and needs to be looked at closely before committing it.
I tried using it once in the past. I found the screens to dense and could not zoom in and what freq to go for what modes it presented and have not used it since. extremely dislike it for those reasons. Needs to be simpler and more intuitive.
You can use the software to decode signals over the air or recorded MP3 files. You can choose the Dem-o-Matic mode from the New> "company" pull down. You don't need a radio to explore the software.. but of course it's a not a receiver, so you would need some sort of signal to decode using this software. Make sense?
You can do this 100%. You just need to feed audio into your computer, typical some people just use a mic to avoid overloading the audio card or if you know how to connect audio out to the audio in of your pc/ laptop (user discretion.. you need to be careful with the audio input, suggest a mic and you will be fine.) -- I use a mixing board to control the audio. The other option is to record the digital transmission and you would be able to decode the mp3 file.
I got HRD to work great with my Kenwood TS-45S. However, when I click on a frequency or change the frequency with the mouse, it feeds back a beep to my radio. it does this for every incremental click and is annoying. Any way to stop the beep signal from going to the radio and the speaker?
I did not see anything for this. I would assume a virtual box on MAC or running windows side by side would be another option. Either may not be the fav option. Sorry, could not help. You may need to reach out to the creators of the sofware.
what is the difference in this and FT8 i think thats what its called im just starting to look at this digital stuff been a ham for 10 years or so but been out of it for a couple years and back then i just did phone . but got me a brand new Ft 450 D and looking at all this digital stuff any input you have is appreciated .
FT8 is another digital mode. It uses a handshake method. Please check this article: physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.0.0.html /// It will provide more details. I prefer the keyboard to keyboard chatter.. // Let me know if you're connected now.
does this HRD program only control the radio or will it allow you to push memory channels into the radio so that when you install the radio back into you vehicle all the memories are programmed? thank you for a great video otherwise.
Really enjoyed your video. Could you help with CW SPLIT operations. I know you just use the spotting network and click on what you see, but I only see the waterfall showing the frequency the person is on and not showing my radio actually sending up even though the rig is properly in split. For instance they are calling on 21.024 saying up, I put the rig in split frequency TX 21.029 but the calling frequency is where the TX is going, they keep saying UP, UP and the rig is in split, so what's going on? Same with RTTY, and ALL digital for Ham Radio Deluxe. I can operate without the software, but with the software there is a major issue. I have the latest and greatest version. Why can't I simply push SPLIT on the rig and everything work as usual?
Hello - I'm working a series of Videos per this software, with more in depth to what you're talking about. I will update the channel with the NEW videos shortly. Thank you
Thank you. I had a brain storm thinking of using the Sweeper on one screen and the DM-780 on another screen to make a contact on CW or other digital split. Send my call out on a listening frequency for the caller to hear me and watch the sweeper to see if and when there is a reply to me. I did add a STRAIGHT KEY to my station and learning CW (slowly).
The rig you have is truly nice. Not sure of what you're attempting to use in the program. There are some pro's and con's to this HRD, I agree. PLUS depends on objective and usage.
I can't get RUclips to work now, I click on a Video to watch and where you would look at the video it comes up blank. how can i get it to work again ? anybody know ? 10-13-2020 10:13 pm
I have all the FREE versions and found the last version to be more stable.. again I was using XP at the time. I switch per the OS for testing. I found no difference between items available, just being more stable. Again that was my experience.
Thanks for that, I've had no problems with my version which been using for quite a few years now. Ever since I've used the version I've got I always get this error box come up when the program starts. It doesn't seem to cause any problems and once it's disappeared you can just get on with using the program. Mind you, I've not come into the digital side of the program, I just use the basic logbook and HRD rotator which is the best program for rotators I've come across so far
I call it "bloating" - there are some parts to this program that would be nice to clean up, but for some of the usage around the digital work, it's fine. BUT in a smaller monitor type environment, no so happy. I have other software reviews to load for 2019 that I have played with. Thank you for watching 100%.
For those who don't have more than one monitor use ALT+TAB on a windows machine to quickly switch between applications.

Great!! We could make a contact some time. Email: ve1xop@gmail.com
Very welcome!! enjoy!
You can run it on split Screen node,
Using HRD with a IC 746 , work very well . 73 de F4DNP.
Very good, thank you for watching :)
try clicking on the menu bar at bottom to change window on top
does anybody know if HRD can run the 706mkII. I cant find a free program any where
Did you try installing the software, was there an option for the mapping of your radio?
I stopped messing with it for awhile, getting to aggravated, I`ll be looking at it again soon. thanks

Yes and there is no need to use Skype (delayed reply)
Will my Elecraft amplifier follow the band changes as well??
Thanks Dale N0JDA

Do you need a Radio for this to work?
You can use the software to decode signals over the air or recorded MP3 files. You can choose the Dem-o-Matic mode from the New> "company" pull down. You don't need a radio to explore the software.. but of course it's a not a receiver, so you would need some sort of signal to decode using this software. Make sense?
Well How can I am use this On RX mode only, I am dont need TX mode, ash SWL station PA

Hello, can you confirm the radio model please. Kenwood TS-45S - I'm not finding this radio.. unless it's the 450S? Please let me know ~ Sean
verry good,.. thank u :)
Thank you so much for this video, very Helpful. Do you know if HRD can work on a MAC?
I did not see anything for this. I would assume a virtual box on MAC or running windows side by side would be another option. Either may not be the fav option. Sorry, could not help. You may need to reach out to the creators of the sofware.

Great question, I will do some tests on my end... stay tuned
Long delay and new videos to load. I've tested here and I can pretty much do all that I can do on the radio Physically as I can in the software.
Tx factor

Does it identify incoming modes.
You can set-up alerts per a mode, yes - works for me.
Using a 7610. Hard to see any real advantages of hrd.

should be fine now :)
I see you're using version 5.24.038. I'm still using the free version 5.24.036. How much will I gain by paying for the updated version?
I have all the FREE versions and found the last version to be more stable.. again I was using XP at the time. I switch per the OS for testing. I found no difference between items available, just being more stable. Again that was my experience.

Yes the error box... What version of Windows are you running? Plus I am creating a NEW video series to cap up some of the features.
Windows 10, latest version
Thank you - Video series to load shortly. As for your version, you should be fine.
There has to be an easier, better way to do this. I am going to keep looking. Using a FT 450 D.
Hello - what challenges are you facing? And what part of this program are you trying to access. I'm just a user like you, let me know. Thank you
WHOA! Help me out me out much appreciated.
You're very welcome. I will be loading a more in depth overview shortly.
No problem, work you down the log!
New VIDEOS to load ;)
4 years later.. people still watching this. Nice :)
Informative, but too much rambling.
Thank you > I appreciate the feedback. The new videos are more focused + less "rambling" -- thank you ;)
Imagine the rig control without the menu on top. That's what I have. Useless. Nightmarish.
I call it "bloating" - there are some parts to this program that would be nice to clean up, but for some of the usage around the digital work, it's fine. BUT in a smaller monitor type environment, no so happy. I have other software reviews to load for 2019 that I have played with. Thank you for watching 100%.
